The fact that you're still bent on this your 250mil ish shows you have nothing to say.
Even if we agree with you and say he spent 150mil. What good has it done United, how much did Leicester spend? How much did PSV and Wolfsburg that qualified from our group spend? After spending instead of moving forward we regressed badly.

Park one side jare.

I am talking about what Nani could be doing for us, you are talking about what he did in his first season with us.

From day one, Nani showed he could be a match winner when things are deadlock. I remember in the early part of 2007/2008 season when Rooney was injured. Our front line didn't blend enough to win games as Tevez was finding it hard. Nani won about three games for us. One thunder bolt from outside of his box. Then he had another great Assist.

As Rooney returned, we had Rooney, Ronaldo, Tevez as principal front players. Then Giggs and Nani with many starts.

When Ronaldo left, at some point Nani was doing almost the things Ronaldo did for us. At some point, even big oppositions in UCL find Valencia and Nani a big problem.

Martial is still a kid and not capable of retuning deadlock matched in our favour yet.

As for Depay, if he doing it against 3rd tier teams, why don't you think he could do it against top teams in two years to come?
Because a talented young player at his age doesn't find it difficult to go past defenders, only their decision making are a let down at that age, not their obvious skills. This reminds me on how Depay failed to dribble past the Arsenal defence yet Januzaj managed to do that in a matter of seconds he was on the pitch.
You also failed to realise that Depay's game isn't based on Dribbling while at Psv, his game was based on his off the ball movement and drifting in to score goals like Ronaldo does at Madrid.
That being said, Nani was mostly inconsistent save for 2010/2011 season where he was our best player but after that, he went back to inconsistent self. Even Fergie in his latter years, often preferred the less talented industrious Valencia to the talented Nani, same for Moyes. You can't blame Van Gaal for eventually getting rid of him

You don't want to know the money spent on Wolfsburg's Draxler, Kruse and others.
Another thing is that we have been playing with plenty of turnover machines (mostly Herrera, Mata) now and there's no one to replace them nor the old cargo (Carrick and Rooney) in our team.
Recently, the deployment of the young vibrant Rashford and the energetic Lingard to play in the place of Rooney and Mata, (atleast before Captain Rooney comes back) has been like a new dawn in the team.
But we still need someone to replace the aged Carrick and the bang average Herrera in the team. Granted Schneiderlin has been great in the box-box role than having to put Herrera there but what about the holding midfield role which is very essential in the team?

In all both our assertions it is damn clear LVG the cretineous fukctard must leave for us to have peace!

Nothing else!!!!!
I repeat, we never had any problem with Carrick and Fellain midfield, it's just that Fellaini contributes little in the attack but Herrera on the other hand is a player who constantly looks like a kid out there whenever he's put under little pressure.
That's the fact on ground. It's either you back up your claim or we accept that your assertion are baseless.

These teams didn't spend upto what we did last summer and have improved why we became worse(you can't provide answer to this) and you're here trying to shift the blames to Mata and Herrera as if we've fared better in games they missed.

Some of youngsters have done well and I hope they continue to improve but time will tell. We'll still find it hard to go far with them especially in Europe.

Ferguson admitted that only Nani can do what he does. But he said he prefered Valencia for his ability to carry the ball with so much balance over a long distance. If you said Nani only played well in one or two seasons, that would be a lie.

Ferguson also caused Nani's dilemma by buying Ashley Young. Nani hates competition. Just leave him to do what he likes. He is like Di Maria, they need freedom and trust from their managers.

Again you admitted Martial cannot really boss games now. When we played against Liverpool in Europa, we were never matured despite pushing forward. No threats. Those days, even if we don't play well, but there was always real threat every time United went forward. Against West Ham, we were just lucky to find that equalizer. DDG and Wasteful Emenike are to be thanked.

Apart from Depay, all the players LVG recruited (Martial, Schneiderlin) in the summer has been quite good. Even the injury prone Bastian chipped in some quality at the start of the season before his injury.
That being said, we've done well without Herrera in the team. And a good winger on the right wing would further improve the team than a fucking Mata. Even Januzaj would be an improvement over Mata on the right wing.

Apart from the one chance he had, he got no sniff. Infact, Westham created little chances other than punting long ball into our box, even Payet didn't have his regular game save for his free-kick.
And I never admitted the underlined part of your post.
Martial with a quality midfield like Scholes and a prime Carrick constantly freeing him up with passes that takes him away from crowded areas would be a nightmare for any defence to deal with.
The point is Nani had the opportunity of playing with quality midfield, Martial never did. The truth is Nani was an inconsistent player under Fergie and he's not pulling up trees at Fernaberche either.
I admit that Blind had a stinker in Watford and Westbrom but apart from the 2 games, he's been solid together with Smalling.

Back up your claim na.
Fellaini's obvious lack of creativity is apparent however, his awareness, off the ball movement and anticipation has been better than Herrera.
And he doesn't look like a kid out there unlike Herrera because he often uses his big stature to his advantage. Fellaini's average technical skills may let him down but his physicality doesn't and he uses it quite well.
My conclusion is both of them (Herrera and Fellaini) shouldn't be starting for Manutd but I would take Fellaini over Herrera any day except maybe against teams that are unlikely to press our midfield which is quite rare.

We didn't have Scholes and Carrick at the start of 2011/2012 season when Nani destroyed everything on his way until injury to Anderson, Cleverley and some of the defenders spoilt that set up. It was a team that Beat Barca in the presason, came from 0-2 down at half time to beat City 3-2 in the Shield. Nani running half the length of the pitch to score the winner after robbing the two City centre defenders of the ball.

Infact we were 0-2 down at half time when Carrick was substituted, and we went to win 3-2 without Carrick. Cleverley, Jones and Evans were introduced at half time.

We didn't have Scholes and Carrick when we beat Arsenal 8-2, beatTottenham with Bale 3-0, beat Bolton 5-0,beat Chelsea 3-1, etc. So your argument is null and void. Nani didn't require any one to play his game.


West Ham had more than one chance. Not to talk of Ighalo who could have scored three goals for Watford. Our defence is horrible. DDG has been the hero.

Lastly, how is Nani not flying when he is Super league second best player, and his team best player?

The team hitting a second gear in the community shield was as a result of the introduction of Cleverley.
The team were by no means poor in the first half of the community shield play off (we had more possession than City and one of city's 2 goal came through a lucky free-kick), we just needed to hit into the second gear and the vibrant movement of the young Cleverley in the holding role alongside Anderson provided that.
No wonder the moment he got injured against Bolton, the team totally collapsed and when he returned back, his partner, Anderson had his own injury, and Cleverley was shouldered with the responsibility to pull the strings and acts as the creative force in the midfield which isn't his forte compared to Scholes/Anderson.
Anderson was also in his best form of his life at that time and we all know an inform Anderson has the best visionary passes out there except that he always undo his good work by suddenly getting injury and then returning back as a fat pig while taking a long time to rediscover his earlier form.
That being said, Nani wasn't even as good as Young in those games mentioned, Young was far better than him. Infact, after Anderson, Young was our best player with Welbeck running close.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by lekkie073(m): 12:19pm On Mar 29, 2016
If Wayne Rooney is fit enough to walk, he will be in Roy Hodgson's England squad for the European Championships this summer. No amount of goal-scoring heroics from Harry Kane or Jamie Vardy will be enough to send the Manchester United striker into international exile. Rooney will be the first name on the England manager's team sheet when his team play Russia in Marseille, France, in June. "I have to repeat: Wayne is our captain and has captained the team extremely well in the past two years," Hodgson said after a 3-2 victory over Germany in Berlin on Saturday. This suggests that the 30-year- old's value as a leader will be important for a young, inexperienced group of players in France. Yet Rooney has struggled for fitness and form this season. He would not make the squad on merit. To shoehorn him into the team requires a number of compromises. Hodgson picked four strikers in his squad for the Brazil World Cup two years ago. If he followed a similar route, Kane, Vardy, Daniel Sturridge and Danny Welbeck would appear to be ahead of Rooney at this point. There are always concerns about Sturridge's fitness, and Welbeck is being nursed back from a serious knee injury, but both have the sort of pace that stretches defences and creates space for teammates. Taking Rooney as a fifth striker would narrow midfield options in France. That did not worry Hodgson too much in Brazil. In the first two matches against Italy and Uruguay, he started with just two specialist midfielders, Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson. All semblance of balance in these sides was discarded because the manager was desperate to get Rooney and Gerrard, his elder statesmen, onto the team. Both games were lost 2-1 in shambolic circumstances, and England were out. The third match, against Costa Rica, was meaningless. When the pressure is most intense, Hodgson relies on the players he believes he can trust, even if all evidence suggests they are out of form or nearing the end of their career. Rooney has been more impressive for England than for Manchester United over the past two years. Hodgson knows that the striker is at his best when he is bearing down on the opposition. When Rooney plays with his back to goal, his poor first touch and haphazard control are exposed. The England manager has a much clearer understanding of how to get the best out of the forward than United's Louis van Gaal, who misuses Rooney on a weekly basis. Yet the deeper Rooney drops, the less effective he becomes. It is hard to make a case for him as a front- line striker given the competition. If Hodgson tries to fudge the issue in France as he did in Brazil -- against Italy, Rooney played on the left of midfield -- England's potency will diminish. Even at the peak of his powers, Rooney was a player who needed the team to be built around him for maximum effectiveness. Now that he is in decline, it is not worth compromising the team to accommodate Rooney.

Smalling has his own problem with Blind looking better than him in some games.
First, Smalling's positional discipline and reading of the game are quite poor, he always tends to follow the ball, thereby exposing his partner in the process instead of staying put and re-adjusting his position.
Secondly, his ability and composure on the ball are awful.
The only thing Smalling is good at, is his one on one defending and his ariel duels. Also, his physicality is an added bonus as opposed to Blind who suffered against huge physical strikers but his reading of the game and composure on the ball are far better than Smalling.
The truth is both Smalling and Blind complements each other well.
I would actually love to see a fit Jones play alongside Blind in the defence to see how it goes because Jones reading of the game, anticipation and positional discipline are better than Smalling's. He's pacy and good at one on one defending too, just as Smalling. He's also a beast physically. The only weakness both have in common is their average ability on the ball.

That being said, Nani wasn't even as good as Young in those games mentioned, Young was far better than him. Infact, after Anderson, Young was our best player with Welbeck running close.

1. The reason we played well and dominated is because of the mobility of our back four and two midfieders. They played a high line defence thereby helping the forwards to concentrate on final third duties. Jones, Evans, Smalling and Evra mostly in defence. Cleverley and Anderson in midfield. These guys could be in final third, and in a blink of an eye you see them dispossessing an opponent making counter in our half.

2. Young was no where near out best player that period. Our best overall player was Rooney while Nani could be said to be second.

3. We were without Scholes and Carrick this period, and also without slow Vidic and Ferdinand who played deep defence line. Vidic and Ferdinand played first half against City and their sluggishness and deep defence didn't help us going forward. They invited pressure. In the second half, Jones and Evans came in, then we pushed forward in addition to the young midfielders.

On the opening day of the season against West Brom, Vidic and Rio returned and we struggled. In subsequent games we played Jones and Evans, and they pushed forward to propell out attack.

Ashley Young was not near our best player that period. Rooney followed by Nani.

Also pay attention to the defence line.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 1:16pm On Mar 29, 2016

Rooney scored in every league match that period. Hit hatrick twice. Denied by woodwork in a couple of times.

Nani scored two beautiful goals against City in the Shield. Almost always rated than Young.

Yet you believe Young was our best player talking from hindsight. Rooney hardly gets the credit he deserves.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 1:40pm On Mar 29, 2016
Our first draw of the season came when Rooney was absent. Probably rested for a UCL fixture or with an injury. Nani was our man on the day.

The next match Rooney returned and he propelled us to a win.

It is as if you don't check your scrren shot before pasting it here! Young was better than Nani vs Arsenal, Sunderland, Westbrom, Welbeck was better than Nani against Spurs. Ando was still better than him against Bolton.
The only match Nani was better than the three were against Chelsea and Stoke. This still backup my claim that the 3 players were consistently better

1. Against Stoke Nani was MOTM.
Against Chelsea Nani was MOTM
Against Bolton, Nani was rated higher.
Against Tottenham, Nani was rated higher.

2. Ashley Young was only rated higher than Nani in the Arsenal and West Brom matches.

3. Rooney was generally the best, followed by Nani.

4. Our defence then was a big motivation to our attacking players. Compared when we had Vidic+Ferdinand in our defence to when we had Jones+Evans. Remember, against West Brom, Anderson and Ceverley were in midfield but we laboured to a 2-1 win because of Ferdinand and Vidic behind them . With Anderson and Fletcher, we still beat Chelsea 3-1 because of fast Jones+Evans behind. Defence matters a lot.

A coach that sells Falcao, Persie and Chicharito so he can make Rooney our main and sole striker at the age of 30 with worn-out legs and less pace, is not worthy of being at Utd.
A coach that overlooks the likes of Vidal, Matuidi and co to buy a washed up Schweinsteiger with a lengthy record of injury is a móron.
A coach that pairs 2 SNAILS, Carrick and Teiger against a fast paced AssAnal players, should be killed with food poisoning.
A coach whose DM is hinged on a 34-year-old Carrick should be beheaded.
A coach that doesn't have a first 11 for 3 consecutive matches is bàstard!!
A coach that has a more deadly Ashely Young for our left wing but plays him in the RB position is not fit to coach Enyimba.
A coach that sold Rafeal for NO SANE REASON is not better than Moyes.

A Coach who sold Lukaku because he missed a penalty
A coach who sold Debruyne, Salah
A coach who sold Mata so he can make Oscar his main 10
A coach who overlooked other decent strikers and bought the same failed Falcao
A coach who checked all the better wingers in the world including Douglas Costa to buy Cuadrado
A coach who bought Felipe Luiz and sold him in one season
A coach who bought Baba rahman and Papy Djiboloji yet refused to use them
A coach who has been sacked at his last 2 jobs

I just discovered that even in our opening game against West Brom, the game was 1-1 when Ferdinand and Vidic were on the pitch. It was when Evans and Jones came on as our centre defenders we eventually scored our winner.

That was similar to what happened in the Shield. Ferdinand and Vidic gave way to Jones and Evans at half time, then we fought from two down to win 3-2. That's how important a defence can be.

Rooney scored in every league match that period. Hit hatrick twice. Denied by woodwork in a couple of times.

Nani scored two beautiful goals against City in the Shield. Almost always rated than Young.

Yet you believe Young was our best player talking from hindsight. Rooney hardly gets the credit he deserves.
Here come the ‘Rooney into midfield’ brigade
Oh here they are – it’s the ‘Rooney into midfield’
brigade coming back for more.
United lost 8 out of 8 (or something like that) when
he was in midfield last season. It was his dismal
midfield performances that had everyone crying from
the rooftops that he should be a striker again. That
was actually something I agreed with because the one
thing you can’t doubt him on is the fact that in an
isolated moment he is good at hitting the ball in the
back of the net. But his lack of movement, pace,
inability to turn a defender or dribble has had people
saying he should be a number 10 again.
Can we just accept he isn’t very good? It doesn’t
matter what position he is in – he is not the brilliant
player of 2004 and nor is he the effective (but still
horrible over 90 mins) striker he was in 2010.
Just because he vacates his position to disrupt the
balance of the team by dropping to the half-way line
to ping (admittedly impressive) 50 yard passes does
not mean he is good in central midfield. That position
requires a hell of a lot more intelligence and ability
than just pinging a pass – as is clearly evident
whenever he plays there.
Rooney should be in the squad because he can come
on fresh with 20 minutes to go and score a free kick
or maybe the ball drops to him in the box where he is
usually clinical, but he shouldn’t start the game over
actual real strikers, midfielders or wingers who have
been playing well and are fit.

surely?)
